Dearest Abby, what a sweetie you are! You are absolutely adorable, so cute resting with a big smile on the bed and then cuddling up to and kissing your dear big brother Rocko. What a delightful story you have to tell! You first came home when you were small enough to nestle in your dear person's hand, and now you are a mature lady of sixteen years. You think you run the house (and I bet you do ). You and Rocko are both very protective and don't like strangers visiting. You love to sit in laps and be petted, and give kisses and be snuggled up under blankets. You and Rocko and your person all love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Abby, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and Rocko and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of barbecue chips and cheese!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
